30 works · ordered by editions in print

The in-between shelf: coming of age as its own category, and the quarrel about who it is really for.

Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
